Seminar 1:
Individually Tailored Leadership Training
A management training session with Markus Jotzo always covers two topics: Leading yourself and leading employees. Together with Markus Jotzo, you will individually define the exact topics and focal points. The focus is on exercises relevant for practice and implementing the learning points in your daily management practice.
Markus Jotzo’s leadership seminars are characterized by exercises and direct, digestible feedback. This reveals your managers’ habits and established ways of thinking, but also underlines which of their leadership skills are already strong.
The video, audio, and written materials offered prior to the session will prepare the managers for the training. The real-world solutions will provide them with strong leadership skills and demonstrate actionable ways for a more successful management of employees.

Seminar 3:
Mental Strength in Times of Change and Digitalization
The challenges in the world of work are increasing
‣ Restructuring creates uncertainty and existential fear.
‣ Intense competition is causing margins and profits to fall and revenue pressures to rise.
‣ Skills shortages and redundancies are increasing the workload.
‣ Integrating new technologies and other changes such as process optimization and international cooperation are increasing the workload.
‣ The requirements of some of the jobs themselves are changing fundamentally, leading to employee uncertainty.
‣ Stress levels are increasing due to increased pressure to implement.
In this seminar, leaders will develop their leadership skills and find answers to these questions
‣ How can you transform your teams for new thinking and action?
‣ How can you spark your employees’ willingness to embrace change?
‣ How can you attract and keep talent?
‣ How can you create an atmosphere of responsibility and goal orientation?
‣ How can you respond to the emotions, insecurities, and fears of your employees?
‣ How can you reduce stress to a suitable level?
‣ How can your employees develop mental strength?
Corporate culture, employee leadership, and change management
In many companies, the focus is on the WHAT: What are our goals? What are our main projects? What is the target group?
Leaders often neglect the HOW: How can we work together as a team? How can we adapt an attitude to tackle the upcoming change? How are my team members approaching their daily challenges?
The HOW is the lubricant of the engine: Only with the right setting and in the right way can you set the course for success and wash the grit from the gearbox. Target focus is a good thing, but it can only be optimally achieved if leaders enable their teams to tackle the issues with the right attitude. And this requires leaders who see their job of managing employees not as a troublesome activity, but as an active daily process. Leading their employees belongs on your managers’ priority list. Only then will you succeed in your change management.
Together with Markus Jotzo, you can design the final content of this leadership training according to your situation. Every manager will leave the training session with field-proven management tools, strengthened competencies, and a concrete and measurable implementation plan. All of a sudden, good change management and digitalization become feasible.
Upon request, Markus Jotzo will also support your leaders and teams in implementing the planned measures. Are you ready to lay the groundwork for powerful employees who accept and embrace change?

Seminar 4:
Healthy Leadership – Replacing Frustration with Enjoyment
The emotional stress of everyday work life is constantly increasing: Changes, restructuring, digitalization with all its technical challenges and increased competition and revenue pressure… Good change management should be there to help, yet the layoffs of colleagues and the closure of corporate branches across the country are increasingly leading to uncertainty and anxiety.
Employees therefore need leadership that supports them, picks them up, and doesn’t leave them alone with these challenges. Of course, employees retain the responsibility to produce results and achieve goals, but along the way they need leaders who forge a healthy framework for their employees.
What is Healthy Leadership?
You are a healthy leader when you …
‣ … are aware of and regularly measure stress levels in the team and actively ensure a healthy level.
‣ … give meaning: Why the day-to-day work brings great benefits to employees, our customers, and our society.
‣ … focus on the essentials and reduce administrative activities that offer little benefit.
‣ … actively support your employees through the strenuous phases and extraordinary challenges.
‣ … let employees, with your support, create frameworks that work.
‣ … recognize conflicts, dissolve silo thinking, and tackle similar obstacles sustainably.
‣ … pro-actively ensure a pleasant team structure.
‣ … foster an open feedback culture in all directions – also for the boss and the company itself – to detect and respond to problems early on.
‣ … pay attention to your own life balance and to that of all employees and, if necessary, ensure appropriate compensation.
Potential goals offered by this training
‣ Raise the health rate to a good level.

‣ A healthy stress level through regular monitoring with the appropriate guidance tools.
